Income/Financial Stability

On Long Island, an estimated 165,000 people live below the federal poverty level. Thousands of families and individuals are struggling to make ends meet, and are facing financial hardship.

Together, United Way and its community partners work to respond to people in crisis, create opportunity for individuals and families to access and maintain housing, and ensure financial stability that leads to long-term success. Learn about our partners under Income.
